Kalina Gospodinova ’04
Researcher
NOSAM (MA)

"I came from a mathematics high school in Bulgaria, and I liked science. On the other hand, I was also always passionate about art. While I was growing up, following that passion was discouraged by my parents, simply because it was tough to become a successful artist in Bulgaria. When I arrived at Whittier I considered both, and I even took few art classes. However, the math and physics departments were especially inviting to me. I loved every moment of my undergraduate experience." Read more.
